[Makumba-comm-build] [How to] create an account in Source Forge

[Adler, P. J. <ped...@gm...>]

hi!

one of the tasks of the community building group is to handle new
memberships. So you need to know what to do... some how-to will stay
within us, others might be good to have in the makumba.org webpage.

for now, it would be good that we create the how-to refering to the
thinks we need to know.
here are some examples:
- add a member to a project
   - that person needs to create an account in Source Forge (see the
how to below)
   - one of us have to add that person to the project (how to to be done)
- fine tune other thins in the Source Forge (scheck the website
http://sourceforge.net/projects/makumba/ and see what we can do...)

in this email you can find the 1st how-to. Anyone wants to do the next one?
maybe we can just put this how-to in mak.org in a page that is not
linked from the public website...

greets
adler
